TAT Leaveing for the navy... What can I get piercing wise?

OK. Im leaving for the navy in august... After boot Im going to get some piercings again... But during boot I have to take out all my pierceings. I was wondering what kinda pierceings you can get that would be *under* uniform so to speak? I had my nips done and Im going to redo them... But Im thinking penis pierceings or something liek that. Could someone post me a link or a pic of some diffrent pierceings that can be "hidden"? Thanks guys.

It was my understanding that you cant alter yourself once enlisted? Maybe thats some old story that someone got wrong and kept passing around...

Anyway, check out www.bmezine.com for terrific pictures and info on piercings. Genital, nipples..i think those are going to be your only choice. However..if you think that at some time you wont be standing naked in front of your drill sergeant youre probably wrong. Good luck!

When I was in the Navy in 1980 you could only have one hole in your ears (if you were female), and it was silver for enlisted, gold for officers. Men could not have them, in fact we had to take the top of my ex's earring off and he just had the post in his ear, that way he wouldn't get into any trouble. That was a long time ago, and I don't know the policy now, but I would bet it hasn't changed any.

as far as i've read, surface piercings still tend to reject a bit more. I'll take your word for it though, as I have alot of respect for your opinion

the punch/taper method is still kinda new. i only know of 3 reputable piercers doing it in North America. its a better method in that the holes are made perpendicular to the skin surface which is the way the jewelry is designed causing very little pressure on the piercing.

as for traditional surface with a needle/surface bar. those can still reject but as long as you care for it properly, keep irritation to a minimum then you should be able to keep your piercing for awhile. i know LebaronLX has his nape done with tygon and its been in there awhile now with no signs of rejection. everybody's body will react different and their lifestyles, diet, cleaning regime, etc. will also have a big effect on how well it heals
